Enduring great companies don’t exist merely to deliver returns to shareholders. Indeed, in a truly great company, profits and cash flow become like blood and water to a healthy body: They are absolutely essential for life, but they are not the very point of life. (194)
…core values are essential for enduring greatness, but it doesn’t seem to matter what those core values are.
Embrace the key concept of preserve the core/stimulate progress. (195)
..holding a core ideology fixed while changing strategies and practices over time. (196)
